#annotating poems

Decided to start annotating poetry because I think it's cool and I want to romanticise my life a bit <3 I'm really attempting to be y/n /j

I don't really know what I'm doing but I'm having fun and I've got so many poetry books I can't wait to annotate

Yesterday I was the Moon by Noor Unnahar

I could write it a thousand ways. It all boils down to this: I loved you and you left me.

What would Jinx be like in the actors AU?? More like s2ep7 powder maybe?

Maybe! But with vi alive, I like to think that she’d retain a bit more of her chaos and ambition. They look out for each other so both have a bit more freedom to explore themselves. I am biased but career-wise, I think she’d have a quite similar one to Ella Purnell, due to the range and success of her work. Or Ayo Edebiri even, coming from screenwriting/comedy and eventually making the move to acting. Just because I think she has the urge to create in areas outside of just acting. She decided to audition for arcane for shits and giggles because her sister was. And figured out hey, this is fun and I’m actually really fucking good at it. Also, have a couple of doodles from the planning stage (including some of jinx)!

ruchita, excerpt from the house on fire

[elysiansam]

because you are dead,

i stand at your desk,

my fingers caressing the groves in the wood

your initials made;

but the night

i slept alone in your bed,

the end of a fire going out in the grate,

i came awake

certain, had we ever met,

you wouldn't have wanted me,

or needed me,

would barely have noticed me at all.

guilt and rage

hardened me then,

and later i felt your dislike

chilling the air

as i drifted away.

in all of your mirrors, my face;

with its smallish, its quizzical eyes,

its cheekbones, its sexy jaw,

its talentless, dustjacket smile.

the biographer, carol ann duffy

Waiting is an act of love. And though it kills me, i’ll be the dog patiently curled up by your door.

the artist’s way, week one

a book for the people that are “creative in spasms. creative as an act of will and ego. creative, yes, but in spurts like blood forma a severed artery”

the basics: 1. write three morning pages everyday (stream of consciousness, to free your brain space and be able to focus on what you care most), 2. take yourself out in an artist date every weekend (to reward and inspire you)

pay attention to the changes in yourself and the synchronicities, note the negative feelings that rise up; non-attachment to the result of your art, rather learn to live in the process

reminder: we need to stop demanding that we look good, it is impossible to get better and look good at the same time

"And i wrote you."

"You did?"

"Oh, volumes," he said.
